Good one.
Check out Go Bang.
Total departure from that early techno-sound.
I've always been impressed with every track on ASCEND by ILLENIUM. But his second album isn't that great. I think younger audiophiles will enjoy ASCEND more than older audiophiles.
Crowded House - Temple of Low Men
Alice In Chains - Dirt
Level 42 - Running in the Family
Jellyfish - Bellybutton
Spandau Ballet - Through the Barricades
Great thread. I'll come up with others.
Men at Work Business as usual! Fleetwood Mac the dance live!

Way too many to list, but here are a just a few of my faves that meet that description....
'The Chaos' by the Futureheads
'The Dreaming' by Kate Bush
All 10 albums by Kristeen Young....
Agree with so many of the above. I'll throw in the Cars S/T.
Maybe Rubber Soul or Who's Next, but really...even my favorite records of all time have a cut or two that don't reach the standards of the others. Even my Knaben Wunderhorn record.
"Blue" Joni Mitchell
"Deja Vu" Crosby Stills Nash and Young
"Tea For The Tillerman" Cat Stevens
"Ziggy Stardust" David Bowie
"Who's Next" The Who
"Moondance" Van Morrison
"Dark Side of the Moon" Pink Floyd
"Wish You Were Here" Pink Floyd
" Live At The Fillmore East" Allman Brothers Band
"Sticky Fingers" The Rolling Stones
"Blood on the Tracks" Bob Dylan
"Rubber Soul" The Beatles
Although this list is decidedly skewed towards the 1960's and 70's, this only indicates that perfection has apparently become harder to achieve.

Cowboy Junkies: The Caution Horses

Deva Premal: The Essence (new age with great female vocalist)
Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road, IMO, insofar as the Beatles….Gregg Allman’s “Laid Back”, Bryan Adams “Reckless” and “The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album” are three others that meet that standard in my book.
Anything from K-Tel.....or Ronco
Dire Straits - S/T
Clapton - Unplugged

Bob Dylan: Blood on the Tracks
Rolling Stones: Some Girls
Graham Parker: Sueezing Out Sparks
